About this map

The Metolius River defines the western edge of this central Oregon landscape, marking the boundary for the Warm Springs Indian Reservation. The river corridor is home to several established recreational sites, including Candle Creek Campground, Lower Bridge Campground, and Pioneer Ford Campground. Rising sharply from the river valley, the prominent Green Ridge overlooks the Deschutes National Forest, a terrain characterized by numerous seasonal forks and springs that feed into the larger river system.

Water sources such as Prairie Farm Spring and Alder Spring were critical for forestry operations, evidenced by the presence of the Prairie Farm Guard Sta. The network of tributary creeks, such as North Fork Street Creek and Meadow Creek, illustrates the drainage patterns of the high forest before they join the Metolius. A single Quarry located near the forest road highlights the modest industrial footprint in an area primarily dedicated to federal land management and natural resource protection.
